Description
Delicious Pineapple Chicken Tacos combine sweet pineapple with savory chicken, perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken breast, diced
- 1 pineapple, diced
- 1 small red onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- Taco shells or tortillas
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
- Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Start cooking the chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the diced chicken breast and sprinkle the taco seasoning on top. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through—this should take about 8-10 minutes.
- Prepare the pineapple & onions: While the chicken is cooking, grab another skillet to caramelize the pineapple and red onion. Cook over medium heat until the onions are soft and both ingredients start to caramelize, creating a rich sweetness. This should take around 5-7 minutes.
- Assemble the tacos: Take your taco shells or tortillas and fill them first with the chicken mixture, then top with the delicious caramelized pineapple and onions.
- Garnish and serve: Add a handful of fresh cilantro on top for a lovely herbal note, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
- Enjoy your tacos: Dig in and savor every bite of your Pineapple Chicken Tacos!
Notes
Opt for ripe, fresh pineapples for the best flavor. Aim for a golden brown color in the chicken to avoid toughness.
